Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling Announce Collaboration

In very exciting news, Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling have announced the release of an EP in collaboration with the Dharohar Project, to be relaeased on iTunes on the 5th of July.

In December the Mumford boys and Laura toured India, and while they were there they met up with this Rajasthani folk group in Delhi, and recorded some songs, including reworkings of their own tracks. They have decided to release this to conincide with the two gigs they are putting on with the Dharohar Project this July (one for the iTunes festival in London on the 9th of July, and one in Bradford on the 12th.

The EP will include reworkings of Mumford and Sons’ song “To Darkness” and Laura Marling’s track “Devil’s Spoke” as well as two new tracks.

EP Tracklisting:

1. Devil’s Spoke / Sneh Ko Marg
2. To Darkness / Kripa
3. Anmol Rishtey
4. Mehendi Rachi

I for one am very excited for this EP. I spent a memorable night in an Ashram in India one summer, and the music I heard there was so beautiful and I can imagine the collaboration with the Mumford boys and Laura will be something very special.
